I did two giant remodels (I think you saw our SoCal end product). So many details to work out. On one hand you don't have to work around an existing structure, on the other you don't have an existing structure to work from.
What will be weird is I am assuming the buyers will know that we are the sellers. Hopefully our current house won't start crumbling around them after we sell it.
The number of details are immense. What is astounding is that so many are left until they actually do it. For instance, similar to my aerospace life, I asked my general contractor to get all of the "systems" sub contractors to come over for a meeting before they started doing their worked. I wanted them to lay out on the walls and ceiling where they were going to put their stuff and who had priority. End of the story is that the fire sprinkler people are here today doing their second rework of pipes because of interference with electrical and HVAC. Of course this is a week after the fire department came by and signed off on their inspection of the system. Doh!
